Actually, I've done it the other way so many times where you rehearse the band and you do the whole thing with lights, the show and the crew - everything. Then you see what happens and you're already committed to dates. I'm just sort of putting out feelers this way.

There is that unpredictability of the seasons that I enjoy. I like the threat of a tornado. I like the threat of four feet of snow.

I'm not dissatisfied with my place in it rock 'n' roll.

It's like, it's up to the people to fall in love with the song. The record company can only do so much.

Reading music is like listening to flowers. I don't understand the concept.

Any musician who can stop may be a musician, but they're no artist. If it's in your blood, it can't stop flowing.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a lot of great rock movies.
